Featured Recipes

Peach and Lychee Fruit Sangria

Ingredients:

1/2 lb yellow peaches
1 dozen peeled lychee
1 bottle Pinot Grigio or Riesling
1 liter lemon-lime soda
3/4 cup peach flavored vodka
3/4 cup simple syrup

Simple Syrup
Water
Sugar

Instructions:

To make Simple Syrup, mix equal parts water and sugar in a pot on low flame, stirring frequently to combine. When sugar is dissolved remove from heat and let cool. Simple syrup can also be made with raw cane sugar. The flavor will be more sweet and buttery, but will take longer to dissolve and will have a brownish color.

Sangria
Slice peaches and peel lychee, add to a drink pitcher.
Add in simple syrup, vodka and wine and stir.
Refrigerate for at least two hours.
When serving, top off each glass with a splash of soda.
